what's up guys it's Lou from unbox therapy and today we're taking a look at the newly released retina model macbook pro yes I finally got my hands on one this one here is the base specification with 2.3 gigahertz of quad core Core i7 goodness and as you'll notice the rest is base spec as well if you want to check out the other configurations and pricing availability etc I'll drop a link down in the description so you could see what is available across the board in the new retina MacBook Pro space but let's get a look at the product first after all this is unbox therapy where products get naked and the very first thing you're going to notice in all its glory is the brand new retina model MacBook Pro I'm gonna put that to the side for a moment and get through the more boring aspects of this unboxing they do have to be completed you're going to get a little bit of paperwork from Apple here something that says hello a little guide as well as the ubiquitous Apple stickers and you are free to do with those as you please and you get a cleaning cloth in this particular model I noticed on the last MacBook Air unboxing you did not get a cleaning cloth so that is a bonus and you've of course got the new MagSafe adapter it is slightly thinner than the previous generation so let's go ahead and get this beauty unwrapped right here for all of your viewing pleasure of course and the first thing you're gonna notice is on the bottom you've got the MacBook Pro insignia basically planted right on there no big surprises as I turn it around and get it flipped open there was is one little change on the front side of the unit which I'll show you in a quick second nothing really major so I'll go ahead and remove this protective covering from the screen we're gonna boot that up in a quick second and really start to appreciate what Retina means in the world of laptops as you'll notice they removed the MacBook Pro insignia from this portion here under the screen where it used to live might have something to do with them needing to make this one significantly thinner the they've also moved the power button from its traditional place to write on the keyboard much like the MacBook Air so as we look at the right-hand know left hand side of the MacBook Pro Retina you're going to see a MagSafe port two thunderbolt ports a USB 3 port and a headphone jack as you turn to the other side you'll see one more USB 3 an HDMI port and an SD card reader now this thing is incredibly thin that's another thing to mention and a big improvement and to get this thing they had to come up with a new cooling configuration you can see here you've got these little slits on each side this thing is half as thin as an SD card or maybe even a little less than half that's crazy thinness for a computer with this much power of course so here it is the Virgin boot the very first boot up on this particular brand new macbook pro and I'm not gonna make you sit through the entire setup but I do kinda want to give you guys one tip if you don't want to do the registration information you can Apple queue that or command Q and skip over that portion to speed up the process I've been doing that for years just wanted to give you guys a little tip in case you didn't know about it now the main thing here with this unboxing and this model for that matter is the screen and it's very difficult to portray to you guys through this video here just how crystal clear it is that's because this display is capable of portraying an enormous amount of pixels way beyond what your 1080p television can do it runs a resolution of 2880 by 1800 but you're not gonna get that actual workspace that's something I wanted to make clear in this video that of course if you had that kind of workspace you wouldn't be able to read anything so you've got a number of different configurations available and you can find which one works best for you the stock configuration gives you a workspace similar to a regular old edition MacBook Pro if you need more workspace and you want to sacrifice some of the text size you can get it up to 1920 by 1200 in terms of the appearance of the workspace even though you are still looking at 28 80 by 1,800 in terms of pixels it sounds pretty complicated it's not at its highest workspace this is what its gonna look like you're gonna have space for two browser windows and at the stock workspace well your your work space is limited as you can see here when I make the switch you sort of lose the ability to have two windows open at the same time and be able to look at them in real time so the beauty here is that you've got options you can pick whichever configuration works best for your particular use case scenario now you've also got a back keyboard on this model but that's pretty common now the MacBook Airs have it the older MacBook Pros did but the main thing to talk about and what everybody is talking about is the clarity of this new Retina panel text looks sharp it's incredibly beautiful to look at stick around the channel for the full review so you guys know what I think about this model and if you enjoyed this content please remember to like and
